Beta profession update

Blizzard doesn't sit still, and neither a recently updated beta build has brought out some new profession stuff to expand the known list. Blacksmithing in special seems to have gotten a rather out of proportions buff compared to most professions. But, keep in mind that there's still a lot of things being added all the time. Other professions are likely to still be expanded to don't go around re-rolling all your professions just because of a single beta update.

In short:

Herbalism gets a self heal.

Four new leg enchant patterns for tailoring as well as a BoP cloak enchant.

Embroiders a subtle pattern of light into your cloak, giving you a chance to cause an additional 800 to 1000 Holy damage when you damage an enemy with a spell. You can only embroider your own cloak and embroidering your cloak will cause it to become soulbound.

Darkglow Embroidery

Embroiders a magical pattern into your cloak, giving you a chance to restore 300 mana when you cast a spell. You can only embroider your own cloak and embroidering your cloak will cause it to become soulbound.

Swordguard Embroidery

Embroiders a magical pattern into your cloak, causing your damaging melee attacks to sometimes ignore 1000 of your target's armor. You can only embroider your own cloak and embroidering your cloak will cause it to become soulbound.

Herbalism

Herbalism get's a small self heal which should be a great boon for any arena players as well as anyone unable to heal themselves while grinding. E.g. rogues, warriors, mages. The skill heals more depending on the rank of your herbalism skill.

Blacksmithing seems the most overpowered update. Two extra sockets on top of the two weapon sockets makes a total of 4 sockets, 4x20 stats = 80 stats. That's HUGE! According to this poster they are blacksmith only. Time will tell if it's a reliable source.

The sockets are "colorless" and can be added to any item even if it already has sockets. The sockets do not award any bonus such as 3 stamina.
